Jurors in Texas deliberated nearly seven hours on Thursday before finding a 12-year-old boy delinquent, the equivalent of guilty, on a murder charge.
Because of the boy’s age, his name and the proceedings of his three-day trial were not open to the public.
Police arrested the boy earlier this year in connection with a May 13 shooting death at a Sonic restaurant in Keene, Texas.

The sentencing portion of the boy’s trial is scheduled for Thursday. County Court at Law No. 1 Judge John Neill will hear from witnesses and attorneys that day before determining the boy’s sentence.
On Saturday, May 13, at around 9:40 p.m., the Keene Police Department responded to the Sonic Drive-In on South Old Betsy Road and found Davis, 32, suffering from several gunshot wounds.
Medical personnel arrived at the scene and transported Davis to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Police say that a confrontation between two adults became physical at which point the 12-year-old boy got out of the vehicle and fired multiple shots, striking the victim.
The 12-year-old, along with his adult aunt & uncle, fled the scene.
Investigation led officers to a location in Rio Vista where they located the boy and took him into custody. Police also recovered several firearms at the scene.
